The deadly car stove is beginning to

reported from Indiana on Tuesday was
made doubly horrible by the burning
alive of imprisoned passengers, who
seemed to have no protection from the

CONGRESSMAN WILSON of this State has
consented to help the Virginia Demo-
Gratis in their campaign this fall, and
will make speeches at different points
throughout the State. In an interview
few days ago Mr.. Wilson said the pol
icy of the Democratic party this winter
is outlined in Mr.. Carlisle's article in
the Forum, that is, repeal of tobacco tax
and removal of tariff duties on certain
raw materials and necessaries of life.
lie said that the outlook for 'SS was that
the Democrats would nominate Cleve-
land, tie Republicans would put up
their strongest man and the Prohibit
tiOnists and Labor men would each have
candidates in the field. These last-un-
known quantities-put the element of
doubt in the situation. Without them
Clevelands election would already be
certainty, he says.

AT last the Baltimore & Ohio Tele-
graph has been gobbled up by the West
ern Union, the bargain having been
consummated last Thursday. This prac-
tically gives the entire control of the
telegraph business to Jay Gould-atre-
mendous power for one man to WELD.
Such a monopoly is a menace to the
welfare of the whole country, for, used
unscrupulously, it is sufficient TO demon
alize business, politics and almost every
other interest. Many thoughtful per-
sons are of the opinion that it is time
for the government TO consider this
question. There is not much doubt that
i'm the hands of the government tue tel
egraph business would be managed in
the interest of the people, and We be-
lieve that it would be a good thing to
have a United States telegraph on
the same principle AS the United States
mail.

The self-styled reformers of Mary
land, and especially of Baltimore city,
seem to us to be great deal worse than
the regular Democrats whom they so
bitterly oppose. We do not doubt that
some of those Democrats are unworthy
men and unfit to hold public office, but
the performers" are going too far when
they charge the honest officials of the
city with being thieves and thugs and
murderers, and send such charges
broadcast over the land. Such wlllful
and malicious lying will do more harm
to the city of Baltimore than the "re-
formers" can ever succeed in undoing.
Few cities are governed as well as Bal
timore, and the people will perhaps find
it very expensive to make change.

SEVERAL political conventions in the
Northern States have agreed that Il re-
vision of the tariff is necessary and they
think the duties should be taken from
sugar at once. They want to see the
protection taken from southern pro J.
ucts, but are not willing to bear their
own share Of loss from reduction of
tariff on products of their manufacture.
Tariff revision must surely come, but it
must not favor North or South, East or
West. Every section should be treated
equally, so that the losses and gains
may be mutually shared.

The whole of tho six amendments
proposed have been rejected by the
people. This is attributable mainly
to the fact that their purport was not
understood. The State paid $4,000
for their publication in each county,
but through petty official favoritism
they were, rs u general thing, hid
away in obscure papers instead of be-
ing published in the county paper
having the largest circulation. Texas
has few publication laws, but what
few she has are sadly in need of
amendment, so that the people can
get what their money is used to pay
for.-Rockdale Messenger.
What the State wants in cases of
this kind is honest men in office.
Then there would be no trouble. Ali
that such would care to know would
be, the papers having the largest cir
culation in each county. That as
certained, they would at once award
the advertising to such papers. They
would not regard it as political trad
ing capital but as due to the largest
of readers who could be
reached. Even though the laws
were not explicit on the subject, they
would not fail to recognize its inten.
ton in matters of this kind.
